that last line 💀
X was definitely still on an upward trajectory but he still also had the chance to fumble the bag and fall off a bit. he had the youth entirely captured for a few years but theres no way you can predict him to have the longevity and size drake has
i do wish x had the chance to make his opus with dream features
nah with his dark history no way he would become as big as drake, drake is squeaky clean that’s why he’s as big as he is
no but funny how so many people are downplaying x’s undeniable success with no numbers to back them up.
All just bunch of “never heard of his hits,my crowd dont bump him, personally never heard his s*** being played”
What basis do you even have for that
The same basis as the other guy.
The same basis as the other guy.
You also seem to equate popularity to talent too tho
I didn’t see that the guy said 1,000x
By agreeing to this, you are implying that X would have been the biggest rapper in the world by just about every metric.
So he would have been bigger than Kendrick, Cole, Ye, Trav etc.
Exactly. Like I can't even picture XXX being on top for that long before self-destructing. All that fame might be unsustainable for him.
And, like you said, he has to pass Kendrick and Travis in popularity first and that hasn't happened.
I think the OP meant to say "hotter" as opposed to bigger. Lil Baby was hotter than Drake in 2020 even though Drake was bigger.
I can see XXX being hotter than Drake for a year or two.

Lol drake is big as he is because of his music. There’s plenty people more “squeaky clean” than Drake. Where chance at? That was the other guy y’all predicted being bigger than drake 💀
XXX was very big to a certain demographic. Doubt he could’ve dominated such a wide variation of demographics like drake.
Don’t think he’s necessarily be bigger than Travis either.
Idk bout that but dude really had a lot crossover appeal
Crazy the new gen kinda lost their biggest rappers in Xxx, Pop and Juice
Peep too

Never heard him in the barbershop or the back of the maybach
Drake is proof that you can be so popular that you can make terrible music and it'll be popular off your name alone
I think Juice Wrld was the one to take the thrown tbh
Yeah he would’ve been the biggest he had everything

No diss but I gave XXX's music a chance after he passed and seeing Youtube reactions to Sad! and I just never could get into his music.
I preferred Peep and Juice's music by far in that same lane.
I'd rather listen to Views over X's music if given a choice tbh and I'm not even a fan of Views.
people would have gotten tired with how edgy he was. he did have some good songs tho rip
Really like some X songs but most of his projects as a whole, i can’t really give it a whole listen thru
